• Divorce is undeniably one of the most challenging life experiences anyone can face.  It can mean leaving your family, losing touch with shared friends, missing time with your children, and letting go of the future you once envisioned.  Beyond these tangible losses, it can leave you feeling anxious, depressed, or uncertain about what lies ahead.  

    The good news?  You don’t have to navigate this alone.  With the right support and tools, you can heal, rediscover yourself, and create a fulfilling new chapter.

    Despite how hard divorce can be, there are steps you can take to protect your mental and emotional health during this stage of your life. You may want to try:

    • Spending time with family and friends
    • Playing a new sport
    • Trying a new hobby
    • Volunteering in your community
    • Journaling
    • Meditating
    • Exercising
    • Spending time outdoors
    • Treating yourself to a massage
    • Attending support group meetings

    Divorce often stirs up a mix of emotions – grief, anger, sadness, and even relief.  These feelings are normal, and it’s important to remind yourself that you are not alone.   Many people experience these emotions, and things do get better with time.
